How We Tailor Inspections to Philadelphia Area Homes?
Homes in Newtown Square, Philadelphia, and the surrounding counties often reflect a wide range of ages, materials, and construction methods. From vintage brick row homes in the city to contemporary stucco-clad builds in the suburbs, no two inspections are alike. At Batten to Beam, our experience with home inspection in Philadelphia gives us a local edge. We get the special challenges old houses can present: the obsolete wiring, the collection of earthenware sewer pipes, or stone foundations that may settle over time with local freeze-thaw conditions. That new home, for all of its modernity and efficiency, might still be hiding problems like poorly sloped grading, a bad flashing job, or an attic ventilation failure. It gives our inspectors an opportunity to look for things based on the home’s age, materials, location, and known local risks, such as high radon zones or stormwater management challenges in Delaware County, to choose two examples. This custom approach also means each and every one of our clients receives a professional home inspection that is tailored to their exact home’s situation, not some cookie-cutter checklist.
